WIP Wednesday / Yarn Along

I am finally managing with my shawl which I started last week and had to pull out. I am close to the end and will definitely have it ready for Friday! Whew, was a lot of stitches.

As soon as the shawl is done I will be focusing my attention on finally finishing off hubbys' pullover....shame, it has been in the corner for so long I am getting a real bad conscience about it.

On the Ereader: Mockingjay - Eventually Book 3. As good as the books were, I am going to be glad to do some other reading after this one, did any of you out there feel like this?

I have enjoyed the story, it has been really captivating and interesting, but I need to read something that doesn't have Katniss in it.....know what I mean?

Onto a different WIP - the work on the hanging bridge continues. I managed to make a photo this morning of them working on the other side of the valley. I will take a walk down to the place where it is all taking place this weekend and will update you with some new pics.

Do drop by tomorrow for Kitchen Krafts. I will focusing on rum and fruit....sound good? You betcha!

Bring along any of your tips or tricks from the household, traditional recipes etc. See you then.

I will be sharing this post with some wonderfully creative people over at:

I am also like that with hypey things, but I loved book 1. So much so I went to our local library to see if they had a book option for hubby to read. I brought it home and he devoured it within a couple of days, and he really takes his time reading and enjoys the whole experience so that is saying something!

I really liked the first Hunger Games book, kind of liked the second, liked the last book, but felt the ending was really rushed, and not at all what I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting, but whatever it was didn't come to fruition :-) The shawl looks lovely! Everyone seems to be making shawls these days, I have never made one, but might need to try.

I love thr colour of your shawl, I am just in the process of my first crocheted shawl at the moment. I read all 3 HG books in 4 days and really enjoyed them but it was good to read something else as well and the book I read this week, mudbound, was completely different and the perfect antidote to katniss!

"Mudbound" looks like quite an interesting read, would love to hear what you think of it, I am always on the lookout for probable next-reads! :-D

I have "Game of Thrones" on my list of books-to-read next as I have heard good things about this series also, but I am thinking I should maybe read something non-fictional to clear the system so-to-speak....you know like coffee beans after a spree of perfume smelling! :-D

I had to laugh about the comment, yes that is exactly how I am feeling about her right now :-D I guess the book must be well written if it can evoke these kind of feelings from its' readers....and irritation is definitely one of the feelings I am getting!

I enjoyed the Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I thought Mockingjay was ok, but not as good as the first two. I tore through the first two, but was much slower reading Mockingjay. I don't know if you've finished it yet or not so I won't tell you my feelings on it just yet.

Your nearly finished shawl is beautiful! Hopefully you will feel inspired to finish your husband's pullover after taking a break from it. I know that sometimes helps give me the boost I need to get a daunting project completed!

Thank you kindly. Yes, I have managed to pull it out and have started it again this afternoon. After knitting so many projects with fingering (sock wool) , it is taking some getting used to knitting with DK I can tell you, feels like extra, extra chunky LOL!

Thanks for visiting my site and leaving a comment, I really appreciate each and every one. I will reply to each of your comments, sometimes it does take a while to get around to all of them, but I will reply within 24 hours of you posting. :)
